DAS KIND DER SEEHUNDFRAU
Das Kind der Seehundfrau (for children aged 8 and older) is based on an ancient myth from the far north. The music is written by Jesse Broekman (new composition, 2022). Songs, recitatives, dance, and movement flow together and conjure up an icy world. Our theatre worlds are fictional, but our feelings are very real – every child is a king or queen.
